  • the invention relates to a method for operating a print finishing plant for producing and processing printed products, in particular for forming stacks or packages of printed product collections comprising completed printed products such as magazines and newspapers, which are preferably composed of a main product and a plurality of partial products and / or supplements.
  • the present invention also relates to a print finishing plant for carrying out the method.
  • the first limit concerns the maximum possible cadence with which the printed products can be taken over by the stacking device.
  • the second limit concerns the maximum possible cadence, resp. the minimum possible cycle time in which stacks can be removed from the stacking device.
  • the production speed in the production line is kept constantly high.
  • the production efficiency of the entire production line is still reduced during the formation of small stacks in the stacking device, since although a fluctuation or continuous change in the speed in the production line can be avoided, the overall performance in this method must also be reduced to such an extent. that sufficient time is available for the removal of the stacks. If there is a fault or interruption in the operation of the stacking device, the performance of the entire production line must be reduced to zero.
  • the aim is to achieve the high net output with the lowest possible energy consumption and reduced system wear.
  • a package sequence is calculated for the stacking device.
  • the production plan includes the information about the type and number of collections in each package and the sequence of the packages for shipment, shipment or interim storage.
  • the difference in size i.e., in the number of collections in a packet
  • the time required to produce the stack of reduced size is achieved by reducing the production speed in the further processing plant of the stacking apparatus. If this difference value exceeds a predefined threshold value, empty positions in the section of the product sequence assigned to the packet are formed in a targeted manner for additional relief of the stacking device or for adaptation to the processing capacity.
  • the variation of the operating speed should preferably be achieved with a minimum of speed reduction and acceleration, that is, with very flat ramps.
  • the targeted gap formation in the product sequence provides an energy-optimized alternative to strong speed variations, which makes it possible to avoid severe deceleration and acceleration.

  • the system is controlled so that preferably as much energy is left in the system.
  • the high mechanical load of individual parts of the system due to the targeted formation of gaps is balanced against the energy consumption due to strong speed variations.
  • the pre-determined production plan is optimized to make the packages in their composition, size and order so that they can be loaded onto a transport vehicle in the reverse order of unloading along a distribution route.
